Let's hope so. Right now a strong gust of wind would have him worried.

I think this year we really should be going for someone with some raw aggression and hunger for the contest rather than someone who can dominate open games against kids in the under 18's and score well on the high jump and beep test at draft camp.

Tapscott. Jetta also seems to like the bash and crash of tackling but may or may not make it.

I do agree that a couple more hard nuts wouldn't hurt but I think some of the kids might surprise you as they realise they are men and not boys.

Scully and McKenzie might make a difference...

I'm not sure it's aggression we are missing the most, so far this year I think the lack of unity, certainty, and assured direction is more damaging, and those things would lead to aggression.

Agree with that and I'm not saying guys like Trengove, McKenzie, Grimes etc won't get there in the future. I'm just saying it would be nice to recruit a ready made player for a change instead of someone who needs a couple years development in the system. I acknowledge Tapscott would have been this had he not been injured last year but it would be nice for a ready made player with a bit more height (like a Darling).

Next years Draft we will be ready to recruit some "Ready Made" Players...this has been a total rebuild don't forget. Gotta get the kids first though IMO

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
